My old fashions go into a regular short glass...

I also use the old style champagne saucers as cocktail glasses. Unlike most modern cocktail glasses, the old style saucers are an appropriate size (3-5 oz) for cocktails. Modern cocktail/martini glasses are way too big. Who wants a stemmed tub of warm gin?
